Batman: Arkham Knight eGuide Most Wanted Side Missions

The Line of Duty

First Available: Chapter 1

Main Objective: Locate and Rescue Missing Members of Station 17 Fire Crew

Location: Bleake Island (6), Miagani Island (4), Founders’ Island (6)

Most Wanted Villain: Unknown

Reward: 18 Upgrade Points, 1 per Firefighter Rescued, 3 for Apprehended Suspect

During Chapter 1, after locking up Poison Ivy, Aaron Cash mentions a missing crew of firefighters. Fifteen members are scattered throughout the city and each one is tied up and protected by a group of hostiles of increasing difficulty. Once the pack of enemies has been taken care of, free the hostage. Each has something to add to the investigation into who is responsible. As each is released, getting close to the next firefighter’s location places him on the map and gives an Intel on the Mission Select screen. Only three are available during Chapter 1. Two more are found in Chapter 3. The rest are available as you progress through the fifth chapter. After all 15 are safe at GCPD, the suspect can be apprehended and brought in to the lockup.
